Kira's POV
"Release my friend!" I commanded.
The dark creature laughed, the sound of its laughter echoed through the cave space causing a little vibration.
*What kind of a creature is this?*
The creature lurked around in the shadows of the cave like a nightmare given form. It was tall, skeletal, and cloaked in a darkness that was thicker than the cave's own blackness.
Its skin, assuming it possessed any, adhered to its bones like pulled parchment, shining with moist decay. Eyes—if they could be termed so—glowed like fading embers, buried deep within its hollow face, casting a pale red light over the rough stone walls. It glided with an eerie elegance, limbs twisting in numerous directions, too smooth for something so hideous.
The atmosphere surrounding it felt chillier, denser, as if the being itself breathed out fear. Each step it made caused the cave to moan, not from pressure, but from a sinister force that appeared to permeate the rock.
